12:00 PM: Los Angeles County is currently experiencing a destructive windstorm. Wildfire smoke is currently visible on campus from an active wildfire burning in the Pacific Palisades / Temescal Canyon area. The UCLA Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and Fire Department (UCFD) are currently monitoring the situation and will provide updates as necessary.
During the windstorm event, scattered downed trees and power outages are likely to occur. In the event of a power outage, traffic signals may convert to a flashing red light or lose power and go dark, and street lights could turn off. Motorists should treat flashing red signal lights as an all-way stop and treat every entrance to an intersection as a stop sign.
